Oi tudos!
This is going to be an exciting transfer. I have a new companheiro now! His name is Elder Miller. He is from Chester, Idaho and has been out just over 8 months. He is an awesome guy and has the greatest hunting stories. I've been taking lead in most of the work lately while Elder Miller is trying to get familiar with the area and people. It's stretching me quite a bit, but I am certainly enjoying the adventure!
This Saturday was the Fort Collins temple groundbreaking. Elder Rasband presided and dedicated the site, and it was a great event to be a part of. It is certainly turning heads in this area and opening the door for people to receive the Gospel.
We've been doing more tracting and referral searching, looking for new investigators. We have met some awesome people and look forward to teaching some new faces and families. We found a golden family! Their names are Saber and Arafina. They are from Africa and have lived in Colorado for about a year now. They have the cutest baby girl who has been born as long as I've been in Colorado. We invited them to church, and they excitingly accepted our offer. So yesterday when we waited for them to show up, it was quite disappointing that they didn't show up... When we went to visit them later in the afternoon to follow up with them, we found out they actually went to church! They just attended the wrong sacrament meeting. They loved the sacrament meeting and all the nice people they met at church. They are already considering baptism!! I've been so blessed with the people I've met and had the opportunity to share the Gospel with. As I've been able to meet with Saber and Arafina I've realized that I have something special and personal to offer them. My Heavenly Father has truly blessed me by putting me in the right place with the right people. God's way is the way!
Eu sei que meu redentor vive!
